OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This workshop will introduce students to the basics of plotting in R using the commonly used ggplot2 package. We will learn the ggplot2 syntax, its basic building blocks and adding layers of data. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to plot simple graphs and have control over the axes, colours and facets. I will share some common issues I encountered during my experience with ggplot2, and, most importantly, I will show you how to use resources available online e.g. R cheatsheets, GitHub repos, Stack Overflow, and more, which will be essential for further learning.
